Those guys worked hard, handling many VIP flights each day plus odd visitors such as a B-47, a U-2, air evac flights, loads of bodies being sent home and diverted emergency aircraft. And then there were the questionable ones, like the Army OV-1s from Vung Tau that made a habit of blowing tires so that they had to spend an extra night in downtown Saigon. |
